Gary, that is a ZX trans (80-83 ZX,81-84 Maxima). It only has the one mounting ear on the left side for the exhaust bracket below the shifter where the 77-79 has one on each side. Also has a slightly higher fifth gear than the Z trans. The other device is a neutral saftey switch on the 81-84 trans which you don't have to worry about since the rest of that circuitry isn't in the earlier cars. As far as the breather, some one else will have to answer that as I've never encountered that problem. Here's a ratio chart:

New paint :classic:

I agree that your price is good for the entire package. Wheels, tires, and caps. But the price of the caps is being grossly overestimated. I just spoke to Rex at nissanparts.cc and he says that they are still available @$21.51 ea.

Not trying to sound skeptical, but Rod of Rod's Datsun Parts had one cap for sale at the last Datsun swap meet in Gardena at the Nissan HQ for $100! One cap! These guys are in the business of selling Datsun parts. And those wheels did show up in the US before 1978. I distinctly remember seeing them on a 74 260Z in the showroom at Pomona Valley Datsun.

I noticed that you also posted this 'feeler' on Zhome. The wheel themselves are somewhat hard to come by, and it took me nearly six months to find a replacement for one of mine that had curb rash but I'm not sure that the caps for this wheel are worth $100-$150 a set. I bought some a year ago or so for $21 ea. througn Nissanparts.cc. I would imagine that they are still available unless someone bought them all up since then. But that's sitll a good price for the overall package.

Thanks, Bob. I know that there is that mid year change on the 260 and that some items are 240ish and some are 280ish.

Welcome to the site! Is your 260Z early or late? Basically does it have the smaller 240Z type bumpers or the larger 280Z type bumpers? If it has the larger bumpers, I believe that the 76 dash would fit.

6/74? 74 240Z? Wouldn't that be a 260Z?

Will, the wheels you show in your post (center picture) and in my avitar were actually optional for the S30 from the beginning. You see them more often on the later 260Z and the 280Z but they were a option on the 240Z. I lke them because you don't often see them but only being 5.5" wide might be a drawback to some people. Not sure I like the paint treatment on those however.

Well, I went into the local Wal Mart and bought the only two I could find. 97 cents each! The packaging is a little different from what jmark posted but the cars are the same.

You'll also have to make some type of patch to cover the hole in the blower box where the evaporator housing connects to it.

http://www.nissanparts.cc/ is a source I've used quite a bit for oem stuff. If you know the part numbers you can give them a call and they will check the availability. Their prices are less than msrp also.

Those numbers are the car's month/year of manufacture. I wouldn't worry much about what I asked in the previous post. I would have listed the actual part numbers but I doubt that all four numbers from the microfiche cd would still be available from Nissan. I was only asking for the sake of my curiousity. EScanlon's post shows the two that are available.

Not trying to confuse the issue but Datsun actually lists four different part numbers for these. One with no dates, one for up to 1/71, one for 2/72-7/73, and one for 8/73 and up. I'm just curious as to why the first number has no dates, the second one has no start date but goes to 1/72, and there is no mention of the period 2/71-1/72 on any of them? That all comes from the Z car microfiche cd.

That's pretty much normal. It's fairly thin material and the pressure makes it flex and pull out. I guess that's better than having it break the plastic opening that stops it.

You forgot these and bring quite a few of these:)
